What is a good PPM schedule for my plants? I have an ebb and flow setup in Rockwool cubes, and I'm using tap water. My solution is Botanicare PureBlend Pro grow. I also have Mineral Matrix, a supplement.

What stage of growth are you in? How many weeks are you into that particular part of growth?

...only give 1/4 strength solution until you see your 3rd or 4th set of leaves....then you want to give them a 50% solution for a week or so....then slowly raise your PPM from there. In the Lucas Formula, you only need a PPM of 900 @ .07 conversion or so for your veg cycle...and a PPM of 1600 @ .07 conversion for bloom.

I am transitioning in between the seedling and veg stage, but I would like to know what each stage needs.

For me to give you a specific number would be hogswash.. I wouldnt have a chance,neither would anyone else unless they already grew the same strain from the same breeder in the same conditions..With you going into vegetation Im assuming that the seedling process has been 2 to 4 weeks.. Now in the beginning of your veg I would shoot for 150 to 250 ppm..You can start alittle stronger if you'd like.As long as you are ready to flush.I mean the only way you are really going to find out whats to high is the foliage burn..This young in life I wouldnt go taking these chances..Chances are you spent top dollar on these seeds..With all of the pruning and bending and screen horticulture practices I would take it slow and figure it out
